We are looking for new administrator-moderators for Wikimedia-l. Ryan Lomonaco left the team a while ago, and I plan on stepping down as soon as the new team is on board.
The main role of an administrator-moderator is to approve or deny posts that get held up in the moderation queue (post made by non subscribers, posts with attachments, posts to multiple addresses, posts sent by moderated users, etc.). Occasionally an administrator-moderator has to step in when a discussion gets out of hand. Even more rarely the role involves basic list administration, such as helping users to subscribe or unsubscribe manually from the list.
Anyone interested in joining the team should send an email to * wikimedia-l-owner@lists.wikimedia.org* no later than 23:59 UTC on the 10th of May. Please include the following information:
- Wikimedia username - Projects you are active on - Any roles you serve on those projects (e.g. administrator, bureaucrat, WikiProject coordinator, clerk, mediator, etc.) - Any other information that may be pertinent to the role

Considering the centrality of this list, let's add a criterion of "has managed a Mailman list before", shall we? It would be a huge waste of everyone's time if a complete novice were to push the wrong buttons. :)

It's actually pretty easy even if you've never seen it before, IME.

If your concern is in assessing whether or not a candidate is suitable to administer and moderate the list, then it can be a factor to take into account. I don't however agree that it should be a prerequesite. The software is trivially easy to learn to use. I had no prior experience, and I don't think I broke anything in the last two or so years of using it. What is far more important, as far as I am concerned, is having people able to judge how and when it is appropriate to intervene when threads occasionally get unruly.
